Cairngorm Weather Station


Mountain safety is paramount. Please read our disclaimer.

The Automatic Weather Station is situated on the summit of Cairn Gorm and provides temperature and wind data every half hour, the data is uploaded to the internet several times daily. The pictures are provided by a camera located in the AWS, with images taken daily.

You can contact us by e-mail at Cairngorm@hw.ac.uk

The weather station and camera were set up by funded research projects, which finished a number of years ago. We continue to support these facilities as much as possible but regret that there may well be extended periods when they are unavailable. The current status is shown in the tables below, automatic status report is available on the right.
